Happy Birthday Kelly Pace

Today is Kelly Pace's birthday. Enjoy the love story below.

This past weekend I was blessed with several hours of our son Morgan working with me in the studio as he painted something special for his wife Kelly for her Birthday.  So today's blog will be sharing Morgan's incredible work.  Morgan can paint... really paint!

When he arrived he had something in his head and immediately sought out the canvas and coated it with a strong acrylic layer.  Then the oils came out. The brush became at first still and then relaxed in his hand and the spirit of the paint grew in the composition.

I really wish Morgan would paint again and sell his work. His great grandfather, Granddaddy Haskell was an artist, and between those genes and mine, he has a gift. Right now he is busy with life and

The first Month of Dating.
He and Kelly grew up in the same church, but he and her sister were the same age. Kelly was the 'tag' along sibling whenever the youth group did things.  When Morgan was in his late twenties he decided he wanted my input on someone to date...and I was at church with my mom and saw Kelly with her family. She is so precious... a tiny petite blonde with a smile that lights up a room.  I asked Mom when she would be graduating from high school.  Mom's expression was laughter. Kelly had just graduated college and was starting her master's program at North Texas. It took about six weeks before they had their first date and if I recall correctly, Morgan took her to the Valentine's symphony at the Myerson in Dallas.

It was only a few years later in May of 2011 (I hope I have the year right), that they married.

Wedding Day in May.

So today is her birthday and we could not begin to tell her how much we love her.  She is a beautiful part of our family.



But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.  Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.” When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.  Ruth 1: 16-18

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
